Anyone have an aniexty disorder that they use weed to treat?

i have moderate anxiety issues, nothing like you're describing though
never the less, it is a quality of life issue, it does create bad states of mind
i take St. Johns wort for depression, but it's a balancing act, too much kind of pushes me into the anxiety zone
i've found northern lights to be helpful, harvested with quite a few clear trics and some amber
your cross you mentioned looked to have quite a sativa streak in there, i found that sativa anxiety didn't mix well from years past when i bought bag weed sativas

Good to know. My next crop is afgan dream which is indica. I'll try harvesting it a little earlier too, I've been waiting till it was 50% amber and 50% cloudy.
Anyone else have anything to add?

I have anxiety but not that bad. Think of sativas like uppers and indicas like downers. Or, use sativas when you need to get up and get stuff done and indicas when you need to calm yourself down. Your other meds changed so this one is going to have to as well. Maybe try a blueberry or kush strain.

Don't forget that marijuana is a mood enhancer. If you want to chill smoke/vape and seek to chill with your conscious mind. If you're anticipating the relaxation you're actually adding to the anxiety.

Also, are you physically capable of exercise? Even just a daily walk will help out a lot.

Thanks for the input. I have merinol (100% THC pills, perscribed), I don't find that they help or that they make things worse, I use it to increase appetite when my nausea produced by my anxiety makes it so I can't eat for a few days... they give me the munchies basically, a little bit of a body stone but nothing near a good vap session. As for excersise, I run my dogs every day, and yes it does help, but not to the extent I'm looking for.

I dont (at the moment) have the capability to be self-sufficient, or buy decent pot, but i do use cannabis to help with a mood disorder.... what kind at this point does not matter, it (thc in general) is the ONLY drug i've found to help with my issues..... which can vary from severe depression, anxiety, or mania.... or a mixture of all..... I dream of the day when i can grow big enough to start finding specific strains to better help my specific problems.

Also, blueberry made me way anxious and the kush was pretty good for anxiety, but it didn't get me baked at all so I dropped both those strains. Buddy has some trainwreck clones, maybe I'll scoop some of those up.

I also have a decent case of depression. I've been on Zoloft and Prozac for that and Buspar for my anxiety. I really didn't like how they made me feel. Marijuana helps my problems way better than the chemicals did.

Most of my smoke is schwag right now, but I'm growing four different strains. Two blueberry mixes one indica dominant and the other sativa dominant, white widow, and some schwag bag seed to experiment with.

Hello,

I have severe panic disorder. I have anywhere from 1 hour a day to 8 hours of sheir panic. A lot of you know exactly what I'm talking about, this thread is meant for you. So when I was taking xanax and valium I was able to use a strain of white widdow crossed with mowie wowie that would perfect the mix of drugs and make me totally relaxed. Since then, they took me off all my benzodiazepams and have me on citalopram and quintiapine. Also, since then every time I smoke I don't get the relaxation I use to. Some times I panic, other times even though I feel high as a kite, my emotional state has no changed

So, what I'm looking for are any tips from people suffering from an anxiety disorder to comment on what kind of weed they feel helps (strain, how long do you let it grow, what do the trics look like when you want a nice relaxing high) or even if people have found oil + hash combo works or whatever. I vaporize and smoke oil dipped in THC crystals. The oil seems to make things a little better than vaporizing. I'm not a weed smoker (like joints or whatever) but if that helps the anxiety then I'll go buy some zig zags on the way home. I'd hate to have to give up weed all together, anyone else have any usefull feedback? I'm doing cognitive therapy as well as seing counsillors and going to panic support groups, none of which make a huge difference.

I was on xanax and valium, now only on citalopram like yourself.
I grew Snow white a couple months back and it was a very nice relaxing high.
Im currently growing super lemon haze, blackjack, applejack, blueberry cheese, white widow, strawberry cough, ak-48, blue moonshine and critical jack herer.

You could follow my journal because ill definately post up results of the different highs which the strains produce

Hey dude whats up, you basically just described me. I have serve in anxiety, I do not know what triggered it but it started about a year and a half. With mine I get real anxious and feel like I can't breathe which is super gay. Sometimes when I smoke it's fucks with me like I am to high and freaks me out but sometimes I smoke and feel great. I use to be a huge huge toker but I stopped alot when my anxiety started but recently started toking like 4 months ago. It's all in my head pretty much, talked to about 10 different doctors and all said they can not find anything wrong with my breathing. They basically said I have serve anxiety and perscribed me lexapro pills to help and it's also a depression medicine which I am deapress from my anxiety.

I still smoke weed and never will stop because it helps me alot with my bipolar but I do hate when I get the to high feeling and my mind races.

Also for medicine try strawberry cough it is actually a anti anxiety weed. I tried to grow it but my bean didn't sprout so Ill probably do it next round.
